Joy

Called into Joy

The Third Sunday After Epiphany

Jonah 3:1-5,10; Mark 1:14-20

Preached by on

Lord Jesus, as we hear your word of invitation this morning, open our hearts and our minds to your presence, and stir in us a desire to know and love you better. Amen. Intro - Violet’s Joy This past Wednesday evening I received a very special text. I think many of you know I have quite a pack of nieces and nephews back home in Winnipeg.

The Cost of Discipleship

The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost (C)

Jeremiah 18:1-11; Psalm 139:1-5, 12-17; Philemon; Luke 14:25-33

Preached by on

“Now large crowds were traveling with him; and he turned and said to them, “Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.” To which the disciples responded, “Uh, you could have just told them to bugger off.

“For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty,” (2 Peter 1:16).

St. Mary and St. Martha

The Anglican Church of St. Mary and St. Martha is a joyful, growing, and diverse community of faith where we together are learning what it means to follow Jesus in the west end of Toronto.

We build on the history and deep roots of four previous Anglican churches in the area: St. John, Weston; The Church of the Good Shepherd, Mt Dennis; St. David Lawrence Av; and The Church of the Advent.

We are truly seeing God doing something new - in our lives, our families, our church and our neighbourhood and we invite you to take part in this too.
